Comment 30 for bug 1581711

carlix, as per https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/rtl819x given this driver is in staging, it's not available in the linux-stable tree which Ubuntu typically pulls from (but testing it with the driver installed simultaneously provides evidence of stability with it).

So, there are two things that would need to happen here. One is for this staging driver to be considered for inclusion into Ubuntu. Second is for this driver to be considered for inclusion into linux-stable, where it would be pulled into Ubuntu as a matter of course.
